Vice News reporter Simon Ostrovsky has been covering the ongoing
crisis in Crimea with interesting and insightful dispatches
being released over the past week, but it's how he handles
people who don't want him to film that has us particularly
impressed.

Throughout the
video, Ostrovsky has encounters with people
hostile to journalists — pro-Russian civilians standing outside a
Ukraine military base, soldiers — and just about every time, they
tell him to shut off his camera or attempt to physically cover
it.

"Get rid of that camera!" says one woman while pushing away
the camera. "This is a provocation!"

Perhaps his most testy encounter comes at a Ukrainian naval
base when a Russian soldier (although he won't admit that) tells
him, "No photo, no video."

"Why can't we film, just because you don't want us
to?," Ostrovsky defiantly asks. He continues, asking
him who he is and what authority he has to tell him to stop
filming. "Show me a document," he says.
